As a member of Bass World with subsequent incarnations into Bass Talk and Basschat and also Finnbass I really enjoyed them all, found much massively useful info, bought some stonkingly good gear, and made some good friends - although now being an old fart (albeit still a gigging old fart....) I post very little these days.
I particularly miss Lysdexia’s superb and very artful photos in the FS section of basses posed with young ladies (or was it the other way around?) - think these were mainly on Basschat.
The occasional dip into Finnbass was like the rare visit to the favourite boozer from your younger years, and I feel the same sadness at its closure as seeing that old boozer bulldozed (a particular episode of “Whatever happened to the Likely Lads?” comes to mind)
In these days of PC-ness, Sleb culture and global social media, it seems to me that any bastion of ephemerally British laddishness and eccentricity should be cherished 🧐
